Most of the attention from Alabama recruiting fans towards Lake Worth High School (Lake Worth, FL) has been focused on quarterback prospect Star Jackson. Another Lake Worth star, one responsible for protecting his stud signal-caller, is also a Tide target.

Mammoth 6-foot-4, 320-pound Joe Looney picked up an Alabama offer several months ago, and according to Looney, the Tide is still making the Rivals.com 30th-ranked offensive guard a priority.

Looney has offers from Alabama, Louisville, West Virginia and Pittsburgh.
